InnerSpace data is stored in secure, enterprise-grade cloud environments located in the region selected by the customer (e.g., U.S., Canada, EU).
Data is retained only as long as needed to deliver insights and meet customer requirements. Standard retention periods are configurable, and customers may request shorter or longer durations based on internal policies.
InnerSpace does not store personally identifiable information (PII) at any time.
How do you comply with data localization requirements in different regions?
InnerSpace supports regional data residency by storing and processing data in the country or region required by the customer.
We maintain separate regional environments (e.g., U.S., EU, Canada) to ensure that data never leaves its designated jurisdiction.
This allows us to meet GDPR, HIPAA, and other localized regulatory requirements without additional customer burden.
Can we self-host or integrate with our own cloud environment?
Yes. Customers may choose:
InnerSpace-managed cloud hosting (default)
Customer-managed hosting in their own cloud environment (AWS, Azure, GCP)
InnerSpace also offers secure APIs and data export tools to integrate directly with your BI platforms, data lakes, or analytics systems.
This flexibility ensures the platform fits seamlessly into your IT and data governance strategy.
Can we see utilization trends over time to support long-term planning?
Yes. InnerSpace provides historical and real-time utilization trends across days, weeks, months, and years. You can analyze peak times, hybrid attendance patterns, demand cycles, and long-term shifts in how teams use space. These insights support strategic decisions such as renewals, redesigns, consolidations, and portfolio planning.
How do you support multi-building or global portfolio insights?
InnerSpace offers a portfolio-wide dashboard that aggregates insights across all buildings, floors, and regions. This allows CRE and workplace teams to compare performance, identify outliers, track hybrid adoption, and prioritize where to invest or consolidate. Our software-only approach makes it easy to scale across countries with consistent, comparable data.
Can the platform help us right-size or redesign our space?
Absolutely. InnerSpace reveals true space demand, showing which areas are overused, underused, or misaligned with team behavior. We provide insights on occupancy, pathways, dwell time, and collaboration patterns to guide right-sizing, reconfigurations, and redesign decisions. Customers use this data to eliminate wasted space, improve layouts, and optimize hybrid work strategies with confidence.
What infrastructure or IT resources are required to deploy InnerSpace?
InnerSpace requires no new hardware. We use your existing Wi-Fi infrastructure and only need:
Floorplans and access point (AP) maps
A light, secure integration with your Wi-Fi controller
Deployment is fast, low effort, and requires minimal IT involvement beyond initial setup and security approval.
Does the solution work with all Wi-Fi vendors and network configurations?
Yes. InnerSpace is vendor-agnostic and works with all major enterprise Wi-Fi systems, including Cisco, Aruba, Meraki, Mist, and more.
We support both cloud-managed and controller-based networks, making the platform compatible with nearly all enterprise configurations.
How long does deployment take across a building or global portfolio?
Deployment takes days, not weeks.
Single buildings: typically 1–3 days
Multi-site or global portfolios: can be rolled out in parallel, allowing rapid scale across regions
Because no on-site installation is required, InnerSpace can deploy significantly faster than hardware-based solutions.
Do we need to install any hardware or upgrade our existing network?
No hardware is required. InnerSpace is a software-only solution that runs on your existing Wi-Fi infrastructure.
Most organizations do not need any network upgrades. As long as standard AP data is available, our system performs reliably without additional investment or disruption.
How does the system perform in low-density AP environments or legacy Wi-Fi setups?
InnerSpace is designed to operate effectively across a wide range of network conditions. In low-density or older AP environments, our algorithms:
Use spatial patterns to improve accuracy
Deduplicate devices to avoid overcounts
Improve precision during the learning period
Even in legacy setups, InnerSpace consistently provides reliable, actionable utilization insights. If enhancement is needed, we can recommend optimal AP density—but this is rarely required.
How accurate is your people-counting and space-utilization data?
InnerSpace delivers up to 98% accuracy in people counts and highly reliable space-utilization insights. Our system goes beyond simple presence detection by analyzing movement patterns, dwell time, and spatial behavior, resulting in accuracy comparable to hardware-based sensor systems—without the cost or complexity of installing sensors.
How do you handle visitors, contractors, and shared devices?
InnerSpace automatically identifies and deduplicates devices, ensuring that individuals carrying multiple devices are counted once. Visitors and contractors are detected like any other user on the network, and their behavior is included in utilization insights without storing any personal information. Shared or corporate devices (e.g., tablets, sensors) are flagged and excluded from people counts to maintain data integrity.
Can the system detect and adjust for anomalies or unusual patterns?
Yes. InnerSpace continuously monitors movement and occupancy trends to detect anomalies such as device spikes, network irregularities, or atypical activity. The system automatically adjusts and filters out noise, ensuring the data remains accurate, stable, and reliable over time.
How do you validate accuracy against sensor-based systems?
InnerSpace has been validated through side-by-side comparisons with leading sensor platforms, consistently matching or exceeding sensor-level accuracy. We also conduct on-site audits and periodic customer-led validation exercises to confirm performance. These reviews, combined with our machine learning–driven calibration process, ensure accuracy remains high throughout the deployment.
